Whilst working remotely has its benefits, you need a lot of self-discipline. Often people struggle to stay productive when managing their own schedule when working remotely.

To make sure you’re able to stay productive whilst working remotely, follow these tips.

Workspace

Not having to commute to an office every day is a huge benefit of working remotely but it also requires you to find your own space to work from, whether that be at home or while travelling. Finding a spot to work from each day is important, as you’ll be able to establish a routine and train yourself… This space is where your work happens. Even better if it’s the same spot each day. If you’re on the move or can’t create a working environment from home then try finding a nearby cafe or co-working space to work from.

It’s important to have good lighting and to not be in a space where you can easily fall into ‘switch off and relax’ mode. Therefore, I would avoid working from bed and if you do like working from the sofa, then make sure your TV is switched off during your workday.
